And Germany has been the bellwether. Back in the early 2000s, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her party made the momentous decision to begin the energy transition from "fossil fuels" to "renewables" as quickly as they could. The scare-quotes around both terms are on purpose, because fossil fuels are not fossils (who is to say that …
With the FBI on the trail of the former President, parents deemed to be "Domestic Terrorists", the cost of everything skyrocketing, and trespassers in The People's House still rotting in the DC Jail for over a year, I think these reflect what is truly happening.

The header photo shows the level of gasoline prices in my neighborhood of Western Washington. Our Dictator has said nothing about the high prices, probably because he is happy with them. He thinks that, the higher the price of gas goes, the more of his subjects will buy expensive electric cars. And he is happy …
For most of my adult life, I have been a lover of classical music, and especially chamber music. I got my first taste of playing chamber music in the sixth grade in school, as my string quartet played for other classes of students. I remember being awfully proud of being able to play beautiful music …
Sound Transit is the Western Washington “light rail” project, for which people in a large area of the Puget Sound (much of it out of reach of the choo-choo train for decades) pay a property tax, a sales tax, and a car-registration tax every year. The first leg of the train ran from downtown Seattle …
